In 1954, the State Park Commission sanctioned California State Parks to acquire 37 acres around Ayala Cove, signifying the beginning of Angel Island State Park. Further land was acquired four years soon after, in 1958. The final federal Department of Defense employees departed in 1962, turning over the whole island as a state park in December of the same year. There is a single working United States Coast Guard lighthouse on the island at Point Blunt. The lighthouse at Point Stuart has been shut down. Lighthouses are very useful for the lost at sea, even if Angel Island is in a nearly enclosed bay. For which is kind of funny, considering the fact that most people don’t get lost in the bay. Unless you are tourists visiting the Bay Area then I say hello. Do people even read these? They probably just skim though and give a report on how great ours were. Most people sometimes pretend that there blogs are “all that”. But in reality, they are just things you just copy and pasted from google or wikipedia.
